My dear Lady Lucy,

I hope that the enclosed coins may be of some use to you—it never hurts to have a little of the ready at one’s disposal. I shall keep good watch at your window for any sign of yellow asters.

God bless you, Waverly

Lucy smiled to herself as she realized how comforting the weight of the gold coins felt in her little hand. She must take care to see that her wealth was not discovered. It might be very helpful if she should have to bribe a servant or hire a hackney. She had not yet determined whether it was wise to tell Selinda about her acquaintance with Lord Waverly. She did not think her sister would disapprove, of course, but she knew that Selinda worried inordinately about her and tried whenever possible to shoulder all the burdens of their difficult situation herself. Perhaps it would be best to wait and see.

Before she turned to go in again, Lucy took the precaution of picking a small bouquet of the flowers, which were to be her distress signal, if needed. It couldn’t hurt to be prepared since she could hardly imagine having such an opportunity should a real crisis arise.

As she made her way up the stairs to bed a few moments later, she remembered that tonight Lady Sybil would try her hand at altering dreams. Selinda’s, she knew, was bound to be delightful, and, come to think of it, she wouldn’t mind a nice one herself. She sincerely hoped, however, whatever the ghost had in mind for Rupert and his mother would set them on their tails!
